Can you sense just how sincere and concerned this news story by some ex-Fox writer is:

Fan holds extremely offensive Ted Cruz sign at AEW Dynamite
December 7, 2022
by Larry Brown

A fan was seen holding up an extremely offensive sign at Wednesday’s All Elite Wrestling “Dynamite” show in Austin, Texas.

As the AEW World Tag Team Champions group The Acclaimed made their way to the ring, fans were shown holding up various scissors posters and signs, and doing scissor gestures with their hands. “Scissor me” is The Acclaimed’s catchphrase.

But one fan’s poster crossed the line.

Towards the end of the video, you can see their poster, which says “Ted Cruz hates” and shows pictures of two scissors facing each other.

The poster is extremely offensive in light of recent events. Police were called to Cruz’s Houston home Tuesday night following a report of a 14-year-old with self-inflicted stab wounds.

“This is a family matter, and thankfully their daughter is okay. There were no serious injuries. The family requests that the media respect their daughter’s privacy at this time,” a spokesperson from Cruz’s office told FOX.

Joking about that situation is tasteless, and the person who created the sign and held it up is classless.

[7.0] "Rey Fenix has declined as a performer in the past year. His lack of selling, psychology and storytelling that prevent him from becoming one of the top wrestlers in the world has always been there, but his high flying and breath taking offence has also gone down a notch over the past year. Frequent botches are now occurring, which were very rare between 2017 - mid 2020. He's still an entertaining talent, but dropped from the ranks of top performers on a consistent basis."

Damian wrote on 08.03.2021:
[0.0] "Chuck Taylor is what would happen if you took everything I hate about pro wrestling and put them all inside a body. He is the archetype of wrestler I dislike the most. He has an atrocious look, he is a terrible promo, he can't work a character for poo poo and even amongst Indie Darlings he might be one of the absolute worst from an in-ring standpoint. But unfortunately the negatives don't stop there with Chuck. His ironic approach on wrestling devalues everything he touches. He has to do some dumb horseshit attempt of humor in everything he does, like the FTR Weenies or the loving hand grenade, or the hugs etc. Even his Dustin run in Evolve, where he was supposedly a more serious version o him, sucked."

Tiny, with no muscle in his body, emo-punk skateboarder, truly lives in a society bottom text etc. Edgy dark and moody wannabe Jeff Hardy. His in-ring work is not bad but his character work is trash. He also seems like a very bad human being, so it doesn't help he portrays a babyface."

Damian wrote on
[4.0] "One (Dean Malenko) of the most lethargic, uninteresting, uninspiring nobodies in the history of wrestling. He was solid in the ring. He was like a 7/10. Promos? 0/10. Character work? A solid 2/10. Size? 3/10. Look? 3/10. Yet he has a higher rating than guys like Booker T. What the gently caress wrestling fans."

this person says character work a lot lets check the likes

Damian wrote on 14.06.2021:
[10.0] "It's finally time to revise my rating, and bump it from a 9 to a 10. Roman has improved a lot these past few years. He might even be the best overall package in wrestling today. He looks like a God, he can talk, he can do character work, he is a great babyface and an even better heel and his endless list of classic matches really shows how awesome he is inside the ring."

Damian wrote on 14.01.2020:
[7.0] "My dude's you can't have The Ultimate loving Warrior at 4, 5. He wasn't good in the ring but he could be carried to a good match (but never great) but he was one of the coolest wrestlers around. Great look, great gimmick, great intensity, amazing (but nonsensical) promos, big personality, that dude had everything. If only he could wrestle a bit better he would be an absolute 10."

It's weird the way everyone AJ wrestles puts on a really good show where all their moves seem to hit way harder and they don't get injured. I wonder what it is about AJ that brings that out in people who beat him.

The first Lesnar match back in 2015 was pretty good. The Royal Rumble match against Kevin Owens, the WrestleMania triple threat, the six man tag against the Wyatts, and his title defence against Edge were all very enjoyable. I think his matches with Braun were decent too, an ambulance or stretcher match.

But he's had some absolute stinkers. The endless Brock sequels, those matches against Jey Uso with "epic verbal storytelling", arguably the worst Undertaker WM match since 2006, summoning god to help him beat Finn Balor and dozens more.

Big fan of saying "stop blaming these people wrongly, go blame these people wrongly."

There is one person to blame here. CM Punk did poorly with his peers. It seems like he did something to piss off current wrestlers and they don't want to vote for him. So we need to stop blaming people getting votes and blame the right people: the wrestlers who won't vote for Punk for mysterious reasons!

Agreed, it's ok to be a fan of a wrestler (or a wrestling fed, or an actor, or a band, etc.), but nobody should just do so blindly or uncritically carry water for them whenever they do something wrong.

Looking at that guy's feed and drat is it full of red flags.

Also, that tweet in particular is response to one that criticises Sportskeeda for running an article about Twitter blasting TK for the clause and Sportskeeda using Jobber and Junkie as sources. Top quality journalism there.
